Maybelline Dream Wonder Liquid Touch Foundation

I've been trying out Maybelline's Dream Wonder Liquid Touch Foundation* ($14.99 CAD), which is a new foundation on the market. This formula comes packaged in a small glass bottle that holds 20ml (usually foundations come in 30ml bottles), that you shake up before each use. Read on to see how I liked this foundation!

This foundation has interesting packaging - the lid twists off to reveal a wand with a tapered end. I'm not really sure why Maybelline decided to include this wand, and I would have preferred a traditional pump applicator. I find it easiest to dab the product directly onto my face from the wand - not the most sanitary, but it's the easiest way to get the job done! This formula is very thin and watery, so it can be a bit messy to use if you try to pour it onto the back of your hand (like I do with most foundations).

This formula has a very liquid to powder feel, which I actually like! The shade I wear is 10 Porcelain Ivory, which matches my fair skin very well. There are 12 shades in the line, so hopefully you'll be able to find your perfect match. I find that this foundation gives light to medium coverage - not the medium to full look that Maybelline advertised. I prefer a medium to full coverage foundation, but this lighter formula has been a nice alternative for hot Summer days. Since it dries to a powder finish, this foundation gives my skin a nice satin finish - not matte, but not glowy either. This formula wears well on my combination skin, and only starts to fade around the 9 hour mark - really good, right?! If you have oily skin, you might want to finish off your look with some setting powder.

If you like a light to medium coverage look, then I do think that this foundation is worth checking out! Have you tried a liquid to powder formula before?

i am really interested in this because i haven't tried any liquid-to-powder foundations (that l'oreal one looks so cool) but the packaging is definitely a bit meh! that lasting power is great though, i prefer a lesser coverage foundation + concealer (although i'm in love with my rimmel mousse) so this could be a good match :)

this looks amazing. I love liquid to powder finish and I have the L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder and would think it is similar concept. Good to know there are so many shades available. Time to hit the drug store! Thanks
